Cisco Aironet Directional Hyperlocation Antenna (AIR-ANT25-LOC-02=)
Draft Label—Cisco Confidential
This document describes the AIR-ANT25-LOC-02= antenna and provides electrical specifications and mounting
instructions.
The antenna is a four-port polarization-diverse patch array that operates over the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz Wi-Fi bands. The
antenna provides both location-based services and Wi-Fi coverage over wide, open areas. The antenna may be mounted
on a wall or mounted using an articulating mount. The location array in the antenna services a wide coverage area (±55º
left and right of the boresight).
The antenna ships with an articulating mount for use on flat surfaces and masts and is adjustable in both the horizontal
and vertical planes. The antenna radome can be painted using commonly available non-conductive spray paints, such
as Krylon or Rust-Oleum. The antenna is designed for use in indoor or outdoor environments. The antenna is designed
for use with the Cisco Aironet AP3702E and AP3702P access points along with the Cisco Hyperlocation module
(AIR-RM3010L-x-K9=).
